I'm not new to chickens but I am now retired and can spend more time doing the things I love and raising chickens is one of them. We also have a bee yard and sell honey. We have three yellow labs and an older horse that is just a pet at this time of her life.

I really enjoy reading about all the amazing things in Back Yard Chickens. I just made a homemade incubator and will be putting eggs in it today. I've had it running for about 4 or 5 days trying out the humidity and temperature settings. I started with an old computer fan that was too small so I ordered one on amazon and got and installed it yesterday. It BLOWS some air. For the box, I used two old kitchen drawers. One was deep and the other shallow. I hinged them together and put wire in it as a floor raised 2 inches up so that an aluminum pan would fit under it for water. Installed a water heater temperature gauge in it and off we go. I found those instructions here on this site in case any one wants to build one.

Everyone, keep up the good work and enjoy your chickens and may all your egg-sptations be great!

Hi :welcome Martha

Glad you could join the flock! Congrats on your incubator :clap I'm sure you are going to enjoy incubating very much. It's very addictive and something I enjoy very much too. I hope you have great hatches with yours. What breed/s are you going to incubate? I'm hoping to be getting mine out soon to get started for the spring.

Wishing you the very best of luck and enjoy BYC :frow

There's a lot of great peeps here! Feel free to ask lots of questions. But most of all, make yourself at home. I'm so glad you decided to join the BYC family. I look forward to seeing you around the run. Good luck with your future hatch.
 
Hi Martha and a warm welcome to BYC. Best of luck with your incubator and do let us know how things go!

Cheers
